A striking and very unusual malachite and sterling silver Victorian fob pendant hallmarked for 1853, so plenty of age to this piece. The malachite is a beautiful glossy emerald green banded with black wavy lines, it is carved into slightly domed rectangular shape rather resembling a book or envelope. A silver pegged in bale engraved in a simple chased pattern decorates the top. Malachite was a popular stone for Victorian jewellery, it was associated with wealth and travel.

The pendant suspends from a fine sterling silver trace chain with flat links, a beautiful antique gem, lovely quality and a fine example of early Victorian malachite jewellery!
